Answers:

Carbonated beverages such as soda are frequently used to suppress morning sickness or nausea associated with stomach flu. It is important to sip slowly in order to avoid further upsetting the stomach. In addition, saltine crackers are often effective for settling the stomach.

Mint is a soothing herb which can help calm and settle the stomach. Peppermint or spearmint tea can be very effective in soothing nausea. Peppermint oil can also be used as an aromatherapeutic cure.

Another old home remedy for nausea is lemon. In some cases, merely smelling a freshly cut lemon can be helpful. Lemon juice mixed into warm water and sipped slowly works as well. Other warm liquids, such as broth, warm milk or tea, can also help to calm the stomach.

If you suffer from frequent nausea due to indigestion, one of the best "home remedies" is to avoid foods and situations that upset the stomach. In order to avoid indigestion-induced nausea, be sure to eat well-balanced meals and include pineapple, papaya, and acidophilus – a friendly bacteria found in yogurt – in your diet. Avoid dairy products, processed foods, and beans. Lastly, eat slowly and chew thoroughly to ensure proper digestion.

One of the best and oldest home remedies for nausea is ginger. Eating a small piece of fresh or pickled ginger usually helps the nausea to subside. Additionally, ginger tea can be made by boiling fresh ginger in water and adding honey or milk as desired.

If nausea is caused by food poisoning, it is important to neutralize the poison in order to heal. Charcoal tablets, which can be bought in most health food stores, are very efficient for absorbing harmful agents. In cases that involve vomiting, it is important to take the charcoal tablets just after vomiting to ensure absorption.
